This video shows more of the debris that resulted from the crash, some of which is fairly large. One shot appears to show a large wingtip shooting off to the side. I'll have to wait to describe what this new video means in my view; for now, here it is:

the reason i don't like this video is because it shows an F4, which is a supersonic fighter jet meaning that it is designed to endure a significantly different set of material stresses than a Boeing 767. a supersonic fighter jet must deal with extreme g-forces when executing turns over mach 1 (pinch's wingman told me) but a Boeing never exceeds mach 1 let alone performs high g-force air maneuvers comparable to a fighter jet.
while not an impact video, i think this video of an MD-80 gives a better idea of how strong commercial airliners are. it's not a Boeing, but thats still a decent sized plane, and, to the best of my knowledge, still flying today.

Ningen, many thanks for posting the JPEGs of the Karim & Hoo Fatt down below!
Thanks, Shep, and you're welcome. How does a tougher plane change things? I was looking at it more in terms of a tougher wall that results in complete fragmentation that absorbs all the kinetic energy.
